    He has a lot of power at middleweight and he looked like he had to struggle a bit to make the weight. I think that he will carry his power and actually be stronger at SMW and be healthier than he was at middleweight. He never really relied too much on speed so that is not an issue. He hides in a shell then attacks with thunderous power and counters very well; kinda lulls you to sleep then wakes you up with a mule kick to the face or body.

      His fight with Miranda at 166 showed that he had a ton of power, and it will probably come up 2 more pounds. I don't think his power is in question.

        People really are not giving Dirrell the credit he deserves. He is by far the quickest guy in the tournament, and he is capable of boxing circles around anyone in the tournament, and is more than willing to stink the place out if he has to in order to win.

          The only thing Dirrell has on Ward is a fraction better handspeed, and maybe slightly more power.

          Ward is by far the more natural, skillful boxer.

            **** but hold his hands up and throw flurries on D+ opponents. And all of sudden people say his defense his top notch.
